Carl Johansson View Over Häggvik, Nordingrå. A UNESCO World Heritage-listed Area1917
1917
About the Item
Carl Johansson (1863–1944) was a Swedish painter renowned for his evocative landscapes, particularly those capturing the striking natural beauty of northern Sweden. His works reflect a masterful interplay of light, atmosphere, and color, influenced by both traditional landscape painting and the Impressionist movement.
This painting, View Over Häggvik, Nordingrå (1917), depicts a serene yet dramatic vista of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Höga Kusten (High Coast), an area distinguished by its unique post-glacial land uplift—the highest recorded in the world. The region’s dramatic cliffs, tranquil fjords, and vast skies provide an endless source of inspiration for artists, and Johansson masterfully translates this into his signature ultramarine-tinged palette.
Johansson’s artistic journey began with detailed, meticulously rendered landscapes, but his exposure to French Impressionism, particularly the works of Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, led him toward a more expressive and light-filled approach. His later works, including this painting, demonstrate his characteristic use of cool, crisp tones and a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, capturing not just the physical landscape but also its atmospheric essence.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this work is a testament to Johansson’s dedication to his craft and his ability to convey the grandeur of Sweden’s northern landscapes. He was often referred to as Norrlandsmålaren (the painter of Norrland) for his lifelong commitment to portraying the region. Today, his paintings can be found in several prominent collections, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.

Carl Johansson began his art studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1882, where he had Edvard Perséus and Per Daniel Holm as teachers. He joined the Opponents in 1885, which meant that he was forced to leave the academy. Johansson made study trips to France in 1891–1892, Tenerife in 1894 and Italy in 1901 and 1914, also participated in the World's Fair in Paris in 1889, the anniversary exhibition in Buenos Aires in 1910 and San Francisco in 1915. Johansson started by painting small, neatly painted landscape paintings in a traditional style, but after he came into contact with the art of the French artists Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, his paintings became more impressionistic. He worked with clear and cold colours, with a factual analysis of the photography and where the vegetation appeared more markedly. In his older days, he used a noticeable blue tone in his paintings, giving him the nickname Ultramarin-Johansson. Since he took most of his motifs from Norrland, he also got the epithet Norrlandsmålaren (The Northern Painter).
